1 Claim.

This invention relates to a spout attachment 4 for bottlesand other containers for fluids, beverages and the like.

The object of the invention is the production of a spout attachment for a bottle and the like, by means of which the contents of a bottle or other container may be drunk without contacting the lips with the mouth or neck of the bottle.

The second object of the invention is the production of a spout attachment for bottles or other containers, which is easily attached thereto and which is sanitary.

The third object of the invention is the production of a spoutrattachment for the neck of a bottle or other container which is made of paper or other suitable material and which is covered with Cellophane, tissue paper and the like until used.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents an elevation of a 'bottle with a side view of an exempliflcation of the spout attachment and a partial section on a plane through the line I, I of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 shows a partial right. hand view of Fig. 1 with a partial section of Fig. 1 on the lines 2, 2 and 2a, M; Fig. 3 indicates a section of Fig. 1 on the line 3, 3; Fig. 4 shows an outside elevation 01 the blank for maldng the spout attachment indicated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, Fig. 4a.

shows a fragmentary portion of Fig. 4 with a" modification; Fig. 5 is a section of Fig. 4 on the line 5, 5; Fig. 6 represents a side view of a modification of the spout attachment with an element in vertical section; Fig. 7 shows an outside elevation of the blank for making thespout attachment indicated in Fig. 6; Fig. 8 is a section of Fig. 7 on the line 8, 8 and Fig. 9 shows a fragmentary portion of Fig. 7 with a modification.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 4 and 5, a fragmentary portion of a bottle is indicated having the body 4.0 portion 20 with the neck 2| and head 22.

The spout-attachment is made from a blank (see Fig. 4) comprising the body portion 30. having the converging end portions 32. The curved head or peak of the blank is shown at 33. The

' upper ends of'the converging portions are shown at 3,4. The lower end of the body portion 30 has integral therewith the clamping collar 35 having-the bottom end 36. The collar 35 has formed therewith a plurality of pleats 38, which extend downwardly from the horizontal central portion thereof to its bottom end 36. The upper end of the body portion 30 has integral therewith the outwardly extending bead 39. The portions 32 have each formed therein an opening as shown at 40. The body portion 33 with its appurteend portions 32 overlapping each other.

nances are curved to cylindrical shape with the The openings 40 are connected-by an eyelet 4| having an opening 42, which latter functions as a vent for the spout attachment. When the blank is I curved to its cylindrical shape the portions 34 form a tapered upper portion for the spout.

A cover 50 of Cellophane, tissue paper or of other suitable material, covers the spout attachment until the latter is used. 10

The spout attachment is placed in position on v the outer end of the neck 2| of the bottle, by forcing the clamping collar 35 over the bead 22. The pleats 38 permit the clamping collar 35 to be forced over the bead 22 without injury thereto, ll and after the collar is in place the said pleats tend to securely hold the spout attachment in place.

When the contents of the bottle are to be drunk,

the cover 50 of Cellophane is removed from'- the In spout attachment, the peak end 33 of the latter is inserted in the mouth of the user and is tilted.

In this position the contents of the bottle will flow into the mouth of the user with the assistance of the opening 42 which functions as a vent. .5

Referring to Figs. 6, 7 and 8, the bodyportion of the spout attachment is indicated at 30,

having the curved lower end 6| with the inwardly extending bead B2. Overlapping end portions are shown at 63. The upper end of the body portion so is shown with the peak 64 from which extends the tapered upper end 65. From the end 65 extends the outwardly extending bead 53. In the portions 63 are again formed openings III for the eyelet 4! having the opening 42 as already 3| described.- 1

When the overlapping end portions 33 are connected by the eyelet ll, the'body portion 30 assumes a conical shape as indicated in Fig. 6. i

A cover 10 of Cellophane is shown covering the 40 upper portion of the spout attachment, and which is removed when the contents of the bottle is emptied.

The spout attachment indicated in Figs. 6, '7

and 8 is used in a manner similar for that de- 45 complete depth to thebead 22 of the neck 2|. 5

the blank i'or forming the conical shaped body portion for the spout attachment is again indicated-at so. Instead ot the head 02 there is formed integral with the lower portion of the body portion the semi-cylindrical clamping collar 65 similar to 38 with the pleats 88 similar to Sta.

It will be noted that the pleats described for 10 the clamping collars I and 05 can be omitted, and the said clamping collarsare i'orced on'the beads without any pleats.

Various modifications may be made in their;-

vention, and the present exempliflcation is'to be taken as illustrative and not limitative thereof.

Having described my invention, I claim:

A spout attachment for the neck 01' a bottle or other container made from a blank comprising a body portion having end portions integral therewith, said body portion and end portions shaped to cylindrical form with said end portions overlapping each other and an eyelet having an opening extending through the end portions where overlapped, said 'eyelet functioning as a vent for the spout.
